Since then, hundreds of people claim to have experienced something unusual within the vicinity of the forest.

Ronny Le Blanc, who grew up in the area, has made it his life's mission to get to the bottom of the mystery.

"I think because these things have happened to me personally, it's created this obsession where I need to find out more," he told CBS Boston.

"The reason it gets its name is there were sightings of Bigfoot creatures going back to the late 1800s."

One particularly notable incident occurred in the 1950s when a man walked into a bar in Leominster and reported that he had seen a 'terrifying monster' on a road near the forest.The man asked the bartender to call the police, but rather than wait for them to arrive he declared that he was going to venture out into the forest, kill the creature and bring its body back as proof.

His car was found abandoned by officers a short while later on the same road and with the headlights still switched on. Despite an extensive search, the man himself was never found.

Another prominent incident occurred in the 1970s when a couple who were driving through the area spotted a strange rectangular light formation in the sky.

"They're looking at this thing and they're just dumbfounded how something so large could just be hovering silently there," said Le Blanc.

"Flash of light and all of a sudden the UFO is gone and they look at each other and the wife notices that they have missing time, about 20 minutes. "

"But, the other thing, now their car is on the opposite side of the road, like they were put back but in the wrong place."

To date, no explanation for these events has ever been found.
